      Verdict

      TASFEYA has not been given an arduous task by the assessor for this nursery debut and he can defy a mark of 77 to follow up his recent course and distance success in a maiden. There is, admittedly, a slight concern over the ground especially if it rains any more though we trust trainer Mark Johnston's judgement on that one. Ted's Brother could go very well at a price now stepped up in trip and 9lb better off with Tro Nesa, who beat him five lengths at Ayr last week. Conditions and trip suit Grand Duchy, who, along with Barista, are others with claims in an interesting contest.
